The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 68 The Secret Realm of Ginseng Valley
Although this road is a bit difficult to walk, it is a smooth journey for brown bears. You will never imagine how agile this honest big guy is. The three cubs had several problems, but they were all saved by Ye Muxue. However, apart from some flying birds, there was basically no prey to hunt along the way.

We arrived at the Ginseng Valley. The entrance was not spacious, only thirty or forty meters wide. There were evergreen trees such as pine and cypress growing there, and a stream flowed out of the valley... Surprisingly, not only was the stream not frozen, but it also exuded a faint spiritual energy.

“Is there a spiritual vein here?”

Ye Muxue stretched out her hand to test the water temperature in the stream... it was cool, so she continued to move forward. Xiong Ma and her family of four walked along behind her, lingering by the stream and reluctant to leave.

Animals have keen perceptions and they know that the spiritual energy contained in this stream is a good thing.

Ye Muxue ignored them and walked straight into the valley. Although it had snowed here, the temperature was different here, so the scene was very different from the snow outside... The valley was full of vitality, with green grass and clouds of water vapor visible above the stream.

Ye Muxue touched it again and found that the water inside was not so cold anymore, but had some warmth.

Walking into the valley, Ye Muxue was immediately delighted when she saw a group of animals inside - wild gazelles!
There was a flock of sheep, about a hundred in total, and they did not notice Ye Muxue, the uninvited guest. By the time they found out, nearly half of the sheep had been caught in the shark net. Suddenly, the remaining sheep scattered like birds and beasts... As green streams of light appeared and disappeared around the sheep, all the sheep in the valley finally disappeared.

I heard that yellow sheep are mainly distributed in Mongolia and other places. Ye Muxue has never seen one in the mountains, nor has she seen anyone hunting yellow sheep. This is indeed a new prey. If she didn't have something to do right now, she would probably have to have a whole sheep banquet.

It must be said that these gazelles are very good at choosing where to live. If they can live in this place all the time, it will definitely help improve this race... Although this place will also be affected by the overall environment, after entering here, the temperature has risen significantly, and most of the plants here are still mostly green. Looking around, in addition to ordinary weeds, there are also many medicinal herbs such as astragalus, siler, platycodon, white moss, atractylodes, gentian, bupleurum, trollius, schisandra, cistanche, ganoderma, and umbellate. These herbs are very precious. Because they are nourished by spiritual energy, some of them are already quite old and have already entered the realm of spiritual medicine.

Ye Muxue's eyes moved... Right next to her, there was a cluster of Codonopsis pilosula. She used magic to dig them out, and then removed the dirt... There were four in total, each about fifty centimeters long and very thick, and each weighed at least one kilogram.

She spread her spiritual sense... and the result was astonishing. There were at least a hundred century-old ginsengs with sixth-grade leaves, at least half of which were more than five or six hundred years old. The remaining five-grade leaves, fourth-grade leaves, and even newly born young ginsengs were countless.

Ye Muxue walked to the bottom of the valley and found that the stream was flowing out from under a cliff at the bottom of the valley... It is possible that the spring is under this cliff, or maybe... this cliff is just a cover-up, and it is tightly sealed inside.

She originally wanted to investigate immediately, but then she changed her mind... A bird in the palm of your hand is worth a thousand in the bush. It would be better to collect the herbs in the valley first. In case there is something special about the restrictions here that destroyed the valley, it would be too late to regret.

Ginseng collectors in the Northeast have their own rules when picking ginseng, such as worshiping the mountain god, opening the door and so on... Ye Muxue had only heard about it from the elders in the village when she first arrived. At that time, she treated it as a myth, and she listened to it secretly because it was feudal superstition.

Ye Muxue didn’t take it seriously now. Even if there really was a mountain god, she would most likely be able to defeat him... Well, even if it wasn’t possible now, there would be no problem after she established her foundation.

Call out both the puppet and the beautiful girl in the space... The beautiful girl was very happy because the aroma of medicine was strong here and she could eat snacks again. Ever since she moved from the medicine garden in Qiankunfang, Ye Muxue didn't allow her to mess with those medicinal herbs anymore.

why?
For example, carrots steamed with more ingredients may be more nutritious and easier to absorb, but they will never be as sweet and crisp as fresh carrots!
"If you ask the puppet detective to dig other medicinal herbs, I will give you two six-hundred-year-old wild ginsengs afterwards!" Ye Muxue negotiated the terms with the beautiful girl, and the latter readily agreed.

To be precise, Ye Muxue was transplanting trees. She didn't need to dig them one by one. The soil had been nourished by spiritual energy, so there was no need to worry about the transplant failing. But she didn't want to move all the soil in the valley... After the ban was lifted, she didn't know what would happen. In case there was any damage, she would feel at ease leaving the soil behind.

It took a whole day to transplant all the medicinal herbs and place them in the medicine garden according to categories... In view of the fact that the number of ginseng was quite large, she opened up a separate place specifically for growing ginseng.

The beautiful girl did not enjoy her benefits and told Ye Muxue that she wanted to change her taste... Ye Muxue also changed her taste and held a piece of Polygonatum as thick as her arm and chewed it like a rabbit.

Of course, she also confirmed that the stone wall was indeed a restriction, but she had to rest for a night before going again... In her previous life, she had no impression of this restriction, but this was not surprising - maybe it was discovered by others, or maybe it had never been discovered.

The next morning, Ye Muxue was almost armed to the teeth——

To be on the safe side, this time she not only brought the Baihe Jinpa, but also the Qingyun Umbrella. In addition, she also brought a puppet with a combat power equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refining. When everything was ready, she came to the cliff.

After a long time, the ban had loosened a little, and Ye Muxue broke the ban in less than a cup of tea.

This is a cave with a wide entrance and stream water gurgling out of the cave.

Ye Muxue followed the stream into the cave... The air was a little humid, but after walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up - she had reached the end.

There is a pool in front, but that is not the real source of the stream. Five holes the size of a human head on the cave wall are gushing water, and in the pool, on a lotus seat at the bottom, there is a fist-sized blue gem... the Water Spirit Pearl!

Water-walking spirit!

Water spiritual roots...or treasures for practicing water-attributed techniques and Taoist magic!

Ye Muxue originally thought that it would be difficult to get it, but she didn't expect that the big hand transformed by the true energy would grab it lightly and get the water spirit bead.

Click...

As soon as the Water Spirit Pearl was obtained, a mechanical sound was heard, and a stone pillar supporting the lotus seat rose to the surface of the water. There was a four-foot square stone platform at the bottom of the stone pillar!

Ye Muxue first put away the Water Spirit Pearl, and then ordered the puppet to stand on the stone platform... The pool was not big, and the puppet reached the stone platform in one step without any danger. Ye Muxue also came to the stone platform soon after.

After she climbed onto the stone platform, she carefully observed the lotus seat...there was actually a palm shape in the center of the lotus!
What do you mean?
Does this require pressing with the palm of your hand?

Ye Muxue hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand on it... Suddenly, something strange happened. Ye Muxue felt a stronger suction coming from the palm-shaped mark, as if her hand was growing on it. What was even more terrifying was that the Five Elements Chaos Art started to run automatically, and the true energy flowed uncontrollably towards the palm-shaped mark... At the same time, the water in the five springs on the cave wall dried up one by one!

The true energy was still being output uncontrollably, but Ye Muxue was strangely unable to make a sound, and her consciousness couldn't even leave her body... Just when Ye Muxue felt that he had been drained, suddenly five springs emitted light one by one... White, green, black, red, and yellow, the five elements of light instantly merged into a five-color light column, submerging Ye Muxue.

"What the hell!"

Ye Muxue’s last words were… She saw that the puppet was actually isolated outside the five-colored light column!
……

Ye Muxue closed her eyes tightly...the five-colored light beams seemed to be rotating outside her body, and she felt dizzy when she opened her eyes.

I don’t know how many seconds or how long it took, but Ye Muxue felt that her body suddenly loosened, and then she smelled a scent of sand.

Ye Muxue opened her eyes...and saw stone pillars that were dozens of feet high. Outside the stone forest was a desert that looked like the Gobi Desert. The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, like a dead zone.

She looked down at her feet. It was a stone ground with gravel all over the surface. A gust of wind blew away the gravel and revealed a one-way teleportation array underneath... Why did she know? It made her cry when she talked about it. When she was studying array formations, she knew there was a teleportation array in the inheritance, but learning from books is not enough, so she tried it out... She studied the teleportation array of a certain sect, but was exposed and was hunted for 30,000 miles. She didn't dare to show her face for ten years.

Give up, just think carefully, the teleportation array or exit for going back cannot be placed here.

It made no difference to Ye Muxue which direction she went. It was all a matter of luck. She used the earth escape technique... but it didn't work!

Ye Muxue doubted herself for a while, confirmed that there was no problem with her spell casting, and summoned the Green Scale Sword again... There was no problem with controlling the sword, but not with flying the sword. She fell headfirst. If she wasn't strong, she would definitely have horns on her head.

Flying and the use of escape techniques are prohibited here. Ye Muxue felt the deep malice coming from this space.

While there was no problem around, she tried out the Thousand Miles Courtyard and Seven Evils Illusion Techniques... Fortunately, these two worked. Although she had to measure the distance step by step, her speed was still guaranteed.

The storage bag can be used, but the mountain and sea space cannot be connected, and Qiankunfang can also be used, but she cannot enter... In other words, things can be taken from it or sent into it, but living things cannot enter or leave Qiankunfang.

In any case, she was still lucky. She could use all the Taoist magic except flying and escape, as well as magic weapons and talismans, as well as formations. She did not prepare a formation this time, but she usually carried a set of formation flags, which was a hidden formation.

After tidying up, Ye Muxue identified the direction and walked towards the east... The east belongs to wood, which is considered a natal land, so why not walk towards 'earth'?
Too lazy to answer!

Endless hills undulate, mostly blue-gray gravel, with sparse vegetation, which is very different from the plants outside.

Behind these hills, there are sometimes lush green ponds, the smallest of which is about an acre in size. Ye Muxue looks at them and keeps a certain distance... She doesn't believe that there are any treasures in these places.

"Hi~"

Suddenly, a 'sand dune' stood up in front of it. Its two large yellow-brown eyeballs were as big as an adult's fist, and its yellow-brown skin was bumpy, as if covered with a layer of gravel. Its body was about sixteen or seventeen meters long, and its tail alone accounted for six or seven meters. Its red, forked long tongue that kept flickering in and out looked very...uncomfortable.

Sand lizard!

This is undoubtedly a demon beast, far beyond the capabilities of any ordinary beast.

call!
Just as Ye Muxue was hesitating for a moment, the sand lizard launched an attack first... A sandstorm was instantly formed, and countless sand and gravel rushed towards Ye Muxue like an overwhelming force, and her figure disappeared in the sandstorm in an instant.

The sand lizard walked down the sand dune step by step. Its huge body seemed clumsy, but in fact it was very flexible. In a blink of an eye, it was only about ten meters away from Ye Muxue's previous position.

Suddenly, it stopped, swung its huge tail, and pulled it forward with force... The sandstorm was dissipating, revealing a faint golden light.

In the golden light, Ye Muxue raised his right arm and pointed at the sand lizard!

Diamond finger!
The huge body of the sand lizard seemed to be struck by lightning, and the whole body could not stop retreating... However, surprisingly, after retreating more than 20 meters, the sand lizard stopped, and the diamond finger did not cause fatal damage to it. Of course, the attack of the sand lizard's tail also missed.

It happened in a flash. Just when the sand lizard was about to launch another attack, a red light emanated from Ye Muxue's hand. The sand lizard showed a look of fear in its eyes, and its huge body turned around to run... However, it was too late. The red light passed through the sand lizard's eyes faster than a spark... In an instant, the sand lizard's eyes began to become bloodshot, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The whole body of the sand lizard is a treasure. The meat can be eaten, the bones can be used to make soup, the skin can be used to make armor, the blood can be used to make talisman ink, the eyes can be used as medicine, and so on.

Ye Muxue put the sand lizard into the storage bag and came to the hill where it had just hidden... Sure enough, that was the sand lizard's old nest, not its most temporary habitat. A nest of twelve white sand lizard eggs made Ye Muxue overjoyed... Steamed, fried, or scrambled, she could eat them up in minutes.

Sand lizards are monogamous monsters, especially when the female lizard is carrying eggs, the male lizard is responsible for foraging. Moreover, this kind of monster has always lived in groups, and Ye Muxue doesn't mind sterilizing them!
He suddenly spread out his spiritual sense and quickly found another sand lizard nest... Unfortunately, there were two adult lizards in this nest. Before they discovered him, Ye Muxue rushed over at lightning speed and got another twelve lizard eggs.

"hiss……"

Just as Ye Muxue was happily sweeping other sand lizard nests, a sand lizard hurried back to the first sand lizard nest that Ye Muxue swept. Something happened in its old nest, and the angry sand lizard roared towards the sky... Suddenly, as if it smelled something, it paused for a moment, and then flew in the direction where Ye Muxue disappeared... Yes, sand lizards can fly, but they can only fly at ultra-low altitudes, or in other words... glide.
